Major Shake-Up at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
The Department of Homeland Security is overhauling the leadership of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by replacing up to a dozen field directors.
This move is due to frustration over the agency's inability to meet its deportation targets, with ICE averaging around 1,100 arrests daily, far below the benchmark of 3,000 undocumented immigrants per day.
- As many as 12 of ICE's 25 field-office directors are being reassigned.
- Many are being replaced by senior agents from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Officials framed the shake-up as a performance-based adjustment rather than a purge, with many affected directors shifted laterally.
The Trump administration is undertaking this sweeping leadership shake-up in an effort to improve ICE's performance.
Author's summary: ICE leadership is being overhauled due to unmet deportation targets.
